Brand Film Casting: Authentic South Indian Farming Families (Telugu)
Hospet, Karnataka, India • YURME
Project Description
Casting for a Telugu brand film/TVC for a leading agri brand, shooting around Hampi on 6 October 2026.
We are looking for authentic South Indian faces with a natural rural quality. The characters should feel like real farming families rather than conventional commercial models. Strong, expressive faces and the ability to perform subtle emotions are important. Non-actors with genuine agricultural backgrounds are welcome.
The film follows three farming families: paddy farmers, vegetable farmers (a daughter who learns to fly an agricultural drone), and sugarcane farmers (a son and his elderly mother).
Usage: 1 year, digital. Compensation shared with shortlisted talent.
Role & Requirements
Fluent Telugu speakers preferred.
Natural, rural South Indian look; no heavy makeup or glamorous styling.
Available in/around Hampi on 6 October 2026.
Submit recent natural photos (front, profile, full-length) with no filters, plus a short intro video in Telugu (name, age, location, any farming background).
For the 10-14 year old role, applications must come from a parent or legal guardian, who must be present on set.
Elderly Mother role: naturally elongated earlobes strongly preferred.
